English 12 -- Little Buddy Day

Yesterday our Little Buddy Day seemed to go well; unfortunately, two grade 12's were absent so that was a bit sad for their two buddies.

Grade 12's are reminded that they have to finish the novel 1984 this weekend; their final novel test will be on Monday at 10:15AM.

The provincial final exam is scheduled for Wednesday morning.

Intro German 11 -- Aufwieder-Schitzel

Last day I accidentally forgot the 'n' in Schnitzel -- as a result, we continue to get a good laugh out of the non-word "Schitzel".

Today we learned the dative case (notes and exercises). Students are to work on their German study booklets for Thursday's final test.

English 12 -- last full week of classes!

Today I sewed together most students' books. Students are reminded that the book will be due Wednesday after class (also, please bring five dollars to help cover the cost of pizza on Thursday).

Students need to continue to read their 1984 novels. Students should have at least read to p. 237 at this point (i.e. you should be starting Part III). There will be a final 1984 test on Monday June 20th at 10:15 AM.

Your English 12 final exam is scheduled for Wednesday June 22nd in the morning, for those students wishing to write it a SECOND time.

Intro German 11 -- Oft oder Manchmal

We did a bit of work from chapter 9 (Questions 11, - 13). Then we went to Pam's kitchen and tasted weisswurst, sauerkraut, spätzle, wiener schnitzel, und Kartoffel Salat. Yum!

English 12 -- Hard Cover Book Making

After the awards ceremony we created the hard-cover shell of our children's books.
Remember to keep reading your novel (you should be finished part 2 by now).
Please bring your $5.00 to class to help pay for our pizza lunch with the grade 4's (which will be on June 16th).
Also remember that the children's book is due Wednesday, June 15th.

Intro German 11 -- Verbs with Inseparable Prefixes

Today we worked on questions 7 - 10 from chapter 9 -- this is due for homework if not done.

On Thursday, at 1:30ish we'll head to Pam's Kitchen for a German lunch. Please bring ten dollars on Thursday.

English 12 - Children's books

Students worked on their children's books today. We will create the hard-covers later this week and sew them together early next week.

Books are due on June 15th at 3:10pm (at the absolute latest!).

Students, please bring $5.00 to help contribute to our Buddy Lunch on June 16th.

English 12 -- quiz on ch 4-8. part 2 - 1984

NEW MARKS POSTED HERE.

Today we did a quiz to start class and then students worked on their books. Books are due on June 15th. Students need to read to p. 237 by the end of the week. The novel must be finished by June 20th -- students will be writing their 1984 test on the 20th or 21st.

I also went around and showed students their provincial exam marks.

Intro German 11 - Wait for the German to make the first move

Today we began Chapter 9 "Unterhaltung" and we promptly chuckled at the German word for vacuuming (staubsaugen -- which translates into 'dirt sucking').

Students were to finish number 1-6 in chapter 9 for tomorrow.
